"Powerful CAM Integration, Challenging Learning Curve"

3.5/5

What do you like best about NX CAM?

I like NX CAM because it provides seamless integration between CAD and CAM, which is crucial for design and manufacturing. The possibility of using FBM and G-CODE, along with its superior Multi-Axis control, is really beneficial. It improves programming efficiency, ensures reliable machining and production, and helps reduce physical errors and time delays. Additionally, it helps automate and optimize manufacturing processes, particularly in CNC Programming and Automation for Machinery. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NX CAM?

I find NX CAM's learning curve steep and it's overly complicated compared to SolidWorks or Fusion 360. Also, I face difficulty with the post-processors. The initial setup was technically intensive, especially with License Bundles and Siemens Licensing Tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid NX & Teamcenter Integration — Struggles with Products >200 m^3"

3.5/5

What do you like best about NX CAM?

It is fully intergrated in NX and Teamcenter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NX CAM?

Difficult to handle big products (> 200 m^3) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NX CAM solving and how is that benefiting you?

3D models , created by eng department , are stored in Teamcenter. CAM engineer refers to it during CAM setup. All stored in one system (Teamcenter)

Changes are handled by a central control workflow . this allows multiple departments using this same source (SPOT!) and all get updates during changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Tool for Complex Cutter Paths"

4/5

What do you like best about NX CAM?

I like that NX CAM creates cutter paths and includes features to simulate paths, ensuring crash-free programs and efficient cutting speeds and feeds to produce physical parts. The color scheme of Teal and Grey is also a favorite aspect. I find feature-based machining wonderful. Additionally, the installation of NX CAM is painless. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NX CAM?

Feature-based machining can be complicated to set up and requires you to hire an administrator or librarian. You must enter all possible combinations and teach the environment how to work. If you don't have extra people, you will struggle to enable it without senior-level experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
